30. #AprilActivation Fun Ways to Elevate our Energetic Frequencies

1
00:00:05,096 --> 00:00:05,816
​
Hey everyone.

2
00:00:05,816 --> 00:00:06,296
What's up?

3
00:00:06,296 --> 00:00:08,696
It is Chelsea VanBuskirk
with the Heart AF podcast.

4
00:00:08,696 --> 00:00:10,166
Hope you guys are all doing well.

5
00:00:10,436 --> 00:00:15,926
We're about to launch into a new
month, and with that I have a challenge

6
00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:20,936
that me and a friend of mine are
collaborating on called April Activation.

7
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:25,496
I'll talk a little bit more about that
later in the show, but it's kind of

8
00:00:25,496 --> 00:00:28,106
along the lines of what I wanted to
talk about in this week's episode.

9
00:00:28,106 --> 00:00:28,766
Anyway.

10
00:00:29,531 --> 00:00:32,891
Because we came up with that name
April activation, as a way to

11
00:00:32,891 --> 00:00:36,521
talk about activating, um, higher
frequencies within ourselves, right?

12
00:00:36,521 --> 00:00:39,458
Like this activation
of, raising our vibrations.

13
00:00:39,488 --> 00:00:43,958
And it got me thinking about, you know, we
say that a lot, like you hear that term,

14
00:00:44,268 --> 00:00:46,788
used a lot, good vibes only, um, right?

15
00:00:46,788 --> 00:00:51,228
Like high vibe, like we talk about,
having like bad vibes or good vibes and

16
00:00:51,228 --> 00:00:52,458
you know, what does it really mean, right?

17
00:00:52,458 --> 00:00:54,108
What are vibrations?

18
00:00:54,108 --> 00:00:54,798
What are frequencies?

19
00:00:54,798 --> 00:00:55,818
Like, what does it even mean?

20
00:00:55,818 --> 00:00:58,548
And why, why do we wanna
pay attention to that?

21
00:00:58,548 --> 00:01:02,491
And, so I thought it'd be worth
discussing, um, because I have learned

22
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:06,721
that, you know, energy and frequency,
vibrations, it's everything, right?

23
00:01:06,721 --> 00:01:11,851
Like every thing in our
world is created by energy.

24
00:01:11,851 --> 00:01:14,521
Like we all have an energetic frequency.

25
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:16,096
Everything does right?

26
00:01:16,096 --> 00:01:19,936
Like the water we drink, um,
everything outside, right?

27
00:01:19,936 --> 00:01:23,506
Like trees, grass, the
air, like it all is energy.

28
00:01:23,506 --> 00:01:24,886
Like we're all made out of energy, right?

29
00:01:24,886 --> 00:01:25,456
Like atoms.

30
00:01:25,456 --> 00:01:30,161
It's, it's scientific fact that we're
all energy and, With that, there are

31
00:01:30,161 --> 00:01:32,231
frequencies within that energy, right?

32
00:01:32,231 --> 00:01:34,601
And there are higher
vibrational frequencies and

33
00:01:34,601 --> 00:01:35,981
lower vibrational frequencies.

34
00:01:36,251 --> 00:01:40,571
And that has a lot to do with,
um, like how we feel, right?

35
00:01:40,571 --> 00:01:43,676
Like our whole vibration, like if
you walk into a situation and you

36
00:01:43,676 --> 00:01:48,146
get bad vibes, like that means you
are sensing some kind of negative

37
00:01:48,356 --> 00:01:50,526
lower energetic frequency, right?

38
00:01:50,526 --> 00:01:54,246
Like you get a bad feeling like it's
making you feel bad, like it is your

39
00:01:54,246 --> 00:01:57,966
body's kind of system letting you know,
this might be a dangerous situation.

40
00:01:57,966 --> 00:01:59,316
Like, I'm feeling uncomfortable.

41
00:01:59,436 --> 00:02:02,416
Like everything that we're receiving
as far as our feelings is like

42
00:02:02,416 --> 00:02:03,856
a, an indication system, right?

43
00:02:03,856 --> 00:02:08,479
Like, , ask and it is given, Esther and
Jerry Hicks, also known as Abraham Hicks.

44
00:02:08,809 --> 00:02:12,169
They talk about the emotional
guidance scale, right?

45
00:02:12,169 --> 00:02:16,009
And it talks about like our higher,
um, vibrational emotions and then our

46
00:02:16,009 --> 00:02:17,269
lower vibrational feelings, right?

47
00:02:17,269 --> 00:02:20,359
And it's talking about this like our
emotions and our feelings and how that

48
00:02:21,019 --> 00:02:24,529
correlates to being, you know, higher,
lower on this vibrational scale.

49
00:02:24,769 --> 00:02:28,309
Um, David Hawkins also came up
with the same concept , of energy.

50
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:31,249
He, his is the vibrational
scale of consciousness.

51
00:02:31,279 --> 00:02:32,689
So it's along the same thing, right?

52
00:02:32,689 --> 00:02:36,589
Like we have all these different energetic
frequencies that are in alignment

53
00:02:36,589 --> 00:02:40,099
with, um, with feelings and just, um,
like higher states of being, right?

54
00:02:40,099 --> 00:02:43,939
And we talk about like our higher
self, you know, our soul self or like

55
00:02:43,939 --> 00:02:46,309
our highest, consciousness, right?

56
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:48,619
Like that's kind of like our
soul self, our spiritual self.

57
00:02:48,619 --> 00:02:51,679
Like that highest level of
consciousness, which is, you know,

58
00:02:51,679 --> 00:02:53,329
like that God realized self, right?

59
00:02:53,489 --> 00:02:55,799
and that has like that
higher energetic frequencies.

60
00:02:56,109 --> 00:02:59,919
, I had Sarah Milligan on once on one
of my episodes, and she is a, , well

61
00:03:00,099 --> 00:03:01,899
renowned psychic medium, right?

62
00:03:01,899 --> 00:03:05,469
Like her job and what she does as
a profession is she connects with

63
00:03:05,469 --> 00:03:06,669
higher vibrational frequencies.

64
00:03:06,669 --> 00:03:10,419
Those who have crossed over,
those who are, um, physically not

65
00:03:10,419 --> 00:03:11,679
here anymore, but their energy.

66
00:03:12,334 --> 00:03:15,214
their spiritual selves
are still alive and well.

67
00:03:15,214 --> 00:03:15,394
Right?

68
00:03:15,394 --> 00:03:18,154
Like when we talk about, no one ever
really dies, like that's what we're

69
00:03:18,154 --> 00:03:21,634
talking about is that soul self, that
spiritual self, that higher piece of

70
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:25,474
you, that higher self of you, that higher
piece of consciousness is always there.

71
00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:26,284
Energy never dies.

72
00:03:26,284 --> 00:03:27,274
It just changes form.

73
00:03:27,274 --> 00:03:32,824
So when we decease from this physical
world, our essence, our soul, that higher

74
00:03:32,824 --> 00:03:37,024
self, that higher consciousness still
lives on in this other plane, right?

75
00:03:37,204 --> 00:03:40,984
And we have people who are more sensitive
to those higher energy frequencies who.

76
00:03:41,839 --> 00:03:45,019
You know, receive messages like
trained psychic mediums like Sarah

77
00:03:45,019 --> 00:03:46,309
Milligan, who was on my show.

78
00:03:47,104 --> 00:03:49,294
Um, and you can listen to
her show and hear her story.

79
00:03:49,294 --> 00:03:53,189
She's brilliant and amazing, and
her gift for connecting with those

80
00:03:53,189 --> 00:03:55,799
higher vibrational beings, like, it's
just amazing and it's beautiful just

81
00:03:55,804 --> 00:03:59,939
to see that there are these higher,
this higher power one, but then also

82
00:03:59,944 --> 00:04:03,889
seeing that we do exist energetically
outside of our physical bodies.

83
00:04:04,019 --> 00:04:08,549
So let's take it back down to
this emotional guidance scale and.

84
00:04:08,671 --> 00:04:11,761
Tapping into like what that means to have
a higher energy and why it's important

85
00:04:11,761 --> 00:04:13,381
to have this high vibe or, higher energy.

86
00:04:13,411 --> 00:04:16,471
Well, a lot of times we can
get stuck like in a funk.

87
00:04:16,471 --> 00:04:21,031
Like, I'll give you an example for
me currently, like we just went on a

88
00:04:21,036 --> 00:04:22,591
vacation for our kids spring break.

89
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:23,431
We went to Orlando.

90
00:04:23,431 --> 00:04:24,601
It was so much fun.

91
00:04:24,871 --> 00:04:25,021
It was.

92
00:04:26,096 --> 00:04:26,846
Action packed.

93
00:04:26,846 --> 00:04:28,046
Like we were super busy.

94
00:04:28,286 --> 00:04:30,266
I came home extremely exhausted.

95
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:31,976
I hadn't been in my normal routine.

96
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:38,066
And when I'm not in my normal routine,
which is, you know, finding time for

97
00:04:38,066 --> 00:04:42,266
myself to, walk or do my workout,
like that kind of physical activity,

98
00:04:42,271 --> 00:04:43,466
that's really important to me.

99
00:04:43,856 --> 00:04:46,256
Um, for my self, self-care
and just feeling good.

100
00:04:46,436 --> 00:04:47,516
Um, I was out of that.

101
00:04:47,516 --> 00:04:50,376
I wasn't, eating my
normal eating schedule.

102
00:04:50,376 --> 00:04:51,636
I just was off of my routine.

103
00:04:52,004 --> 00:04:55,294
Sometimes when I'm out of my routine,
it kind of gets me off track, right?

104
00:04:55,294 --> 00:04:57,784
I talked recently about, I'm on
this weight loss journey, right?

105
00:04:57,784 --> 00:05:02,904
Like, I'm trying to be consistent with,
um, not only my activity level and my

106
00:05:02,904 --> 00:05:05,874
workouts and things like that, but also
with my nutrition and making sure I'm

107
00:05:06,144 --> 00:05:10,104
getting enough sleep and, and getting
enough water, um, during my vacation.

108
00:05:10,104 --> 00:05:12,204
Did not get enough sleep,
did not get enough water.

109
00:05:12,204 --> 00:05:15,534
Most days I tried my best, um, try
to get in my protein, but it's really

110
00:05:15,534 --> 00:05:18,084
hard when you're, you know, you're
actively spending time with family.

111
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:20,754
Your focus really isn't on
like, getting protein, right?

112
00:05:20,754 --> 00:05:23,424
Like my focus was enjoying time with my
family, and that's exactly what I did.

113
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:24,564
I had a phenomenal time.

114
00:05:24,564 --> 00:05:28,194
It was great, but at the same time, like
coming back, like, and trying to get

115
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:29,514
back into my routine, it's been hard.

116
00:05:29,514 --> 00:05:30,594
I feel a little stuck., like.

117
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,594
I got back on the scale and I knew
it was gonna be a little bit up and

118
00:05:33,594 --> 00:05:36,924
it, it, it was, it was higher than
when I left, which is totally normal,

119
00:05:36,924 --> 00:05:39,324
especially when you're air traveling
and doing all the things I did.

120
00:05:39,384 --> 00:05:43,554
And I know logically I know that as
soon as I get back on track, it's

121
00:05:43,559 --> 00:05:46,674
gonna go right back to where I was and
I'll continue on my downward trend.

122
00:05:46,704 --> 00:05:49,824
But it messes with my mind
seeing the higher number.

123
00:05:50,064 --> 00:05:52,674
Um, it messes with me
not being in my routine.

124
00:05:52,674 --> 00:05:54,869
Like I get sucked into those
lower vibrational thoughts of

125
00:05:54,869 --> 00:05:59,394
like, , like it, it's really easy to
get back into those negative thought

126
00:05:59,394 --> 00:06:01,644
patterns of this isn't working.

127
00:06:01,644 --> 00:06:04,194
Like, oh, now I have more work to
do because I, I backtracked, right?

128
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:05,344
Or like, I failed, right?

129
00:06:05,344 --> 00:06:07,624
I failed because now I
was outta my routine.

130
00:06:07,624 --> 00:06:09,664
I didn't stay with my routine
while I was on vacation.

131
00:06:09,904 --> 00:06:13,204
But the, but the truth of it
is, is it's, it's not bad that

132
00:06:13,204 --> 00:06:14,404
I enjoyed myself on my vacation.

133
00:06:14,404 --> 00:06:15,034
That's what you should do.

134
00:06:15,034 --> 00:06:16,834
You should enjoy time with your family.

135
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:19,174
You should take time to do those things.

136
00:06:19,354 --> 00:06:20,944
And here's the part.

137
00:06:20,944 --> 00:06:23,494
Here is the part where you either.

138
00:06:23,989 --> 00:06:24,949
Myself included, right?

139
00:06:24,949 --> 00:06:26,899
Like I'm talking about myself
right now in my situation,

140
00:06:26,899 --> 00:06:28,099
and I had this choice, right?

141
00:06:28,104 --> 00:06:32,119
I had a choice to start spiraling
back down and backwards.

142
00:06:32,149 --> 00:06:36,439
Um, just giving up, um, not
getting back on track, like

143
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,269
continuing to eat like an asshole.

144
00:06:38,274 --> 00:06:42,679
Like just to make myself feel better and
like, and overindulging in things and get

145
00:06:42,679 --> 00:06:44,749
just completely going backwards, right?

146
00:06:44,749 --> 00:06:46,759
Like giving up, that
was one choice, right?

147
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:51,019
To keep going down that OR, I accept
that I had a good time and had a

148
00:06:51,019 --> 00:06:54,419
week off and it was vacation, and
now I'm getting back to my routine.

149
00:06:54,419 --> 00:06:57,689
So I'm gonna keep going and just have
that positive attitude and keep like

150
00:06:57,929 --> 00:07:01,319
knowing that I'm gonna keep making
progress and I'm gonna keep going.

151
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:01,709
Right?

152
00:07:01,903 --> 00:07:03,523
But it's hard when you're
at that crossroads.

153
00:07:03,523 --> 00:07:04,723
And I'll tell you, it's hard for me.

154
00:07:04,723 --> 00:07:05,413
I'm not gonna lie.

155
00:07:05,413 --> 00:07:06,963
Like I did have moments.

156
00:07:07,183 --> 00:07:08,923
I mean, I'm still struggling
to get back into my routine.

157
00:07:08,923 --> 00:07:09,793
It's Monday, right?

158
00:07:09,793 --> 00:07:12,103
Like, um, I'm recording this on a
Monday and I'm struggling to get

159
00:07:12,103 --> 00:07:13,873
back into my consistent routine.

160
00:07:13,873 --> 00:07:15,523
But I did show up for myself this morning.

161
00:07:15,523 --> 00:07:16,793
I got my workout in right?

162
00:07:17,523 --> 00:07:18,703
I'm drinking my water, I'm doing well.

163
00:07:18,883 --> 00:07:22,483
But I will tell you over the weekend I
wasn't so great like it was still the

164
00:07:22,483 --> 00:07:24,313
weekend I'm coming off, off the vacation.

165
00:07:24,583 --> 00:07:28,363
I ate way more jelly beans than I
should have . And for a moment I felt

166
00:07:28,363 --> 00:07:31,483
guilty about that and I was starting
to hold onto that guilt and guilt.

167
00:07:31,483 --> 00:07:34,003
Guess what is one of the lower
vibrational feelings that you can feel

168
00:07:34,213 --> 00:07:37,553
like on, Um, the emotional guidance
scale, like, guilt is one of the.

169
00:07:38,123 --> 00:07:40,433
Lowest of the low vibrational
states you can be in.

170
00:07:40,823 --> 00:07:43,853
And so, um, I even did an
episode on this too, about

171
00:07:43,853 --> 00:07:45,023
letting go of that guilt, right?

172
00:07:45,023 --> 00:07:47,703
Like how we can really keep
ourselves stuck in that guilt

173
00:07:47,703 --> 00:07:48,683
if we don't forgive ourselves.

174
00:07:48,683 --> 00:07:50,603
So what I had to do after I had my.

175
00:07:51,278 --> 00:07:52,538
Jellybean binge, right.

176
00:07:52,568 --> 00:07:57,848
Um, just side note, um, it's Easter
time and Starburst has jelly beans.

177
00:07:57,878 --> 00:08:01,748
They are the best thing ever
and also very addicting.

178
00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:04,508
And they're small, so it's really
easy to keep going for more because

179
00:08:04,508 --> 00:08:06,368
they're so small and you're like,
oh, it's just a little bit and then

180
00:08:06,368 --> 00:08:07,388
all of a sudden the bag's gone.

181
00:08:07,718 --> 00:08:09,488
Um, so that's just what happened to me.

182
00:08:09,728 --> 00:08:12,428
Um, you know, do with that
information what you will.

183
00:08:12,578 --> 00:08:16,178
Um, but anyway, I felt guilty
and so I was in this space of.

184
00:08:16,683 --> 00:08:20,463
Wanting to do what I normally do,
which is then continue to binge on

185
00:08:20,463 --> 00:08:23,793
all kinds of bad foods because I've
already, you know, made a mistake.

186
00:08:23,793 --> 00:08:25,443
I've already, um, over indulged.

187
00:08:25,443 --> 00:08:27,093
So let me just over-indulge
as much as I can.

188
00:08:27,093 --> 00:08:28,703
Like, that's where I like to go.

189
00:08:28,853 --> 00:08:34,018
And I really had to have a check-in
with myself and realize like, It's okay.

190
00:08:34,018 --> 00:08:35,308
It's okay that I had one moment.

191
00:08:35,308 --> 00:08:37,828
It's okay that I overindulged, but
let's get back on track, right?

192
00:08:37,828 --> 00:08:40,618
You have goals you wanna
hit, you can do this, right?

193
00:08:40,618 --> 00:08:43,738
Like, I really had to
shift that perspective.

194
00:08:43,738 --> 00:08:46,918
And, and again, this is kind of going
back to what I wanna help you guys do

195
00:08:46,918 --> 00:08:49,708
this month with this challenge, with
this April activation challenge is

196
00:08:49,758 --> 00:08:55,318
to flip that mindset, um, to get you
out of the guilt, to get you out of

197
00:08:55,318 --> 00:08:58,738
that funk and raise your vibration.

198
00:08:59,048 --> 00:09:02,008
Find a better Feeling,
feeling if that makes sense.

199
00:09:02,008 --> 00:09:06,868
Like using our thoughts and our minds
to help switch our attitude about it.

200
00:09:06,868 --> 00:09:09,178
Like attitude is literally
everything, right?

201
00:09:09,178 --> 00:09:12,028
Like how we perceive our
reality is everything.

202
00:09:12,268 --> 00:09:13,858
Our thoughts create our reality.

203
00:09:13,918 --> 00:09:14,998
It is so true.

204
00:09:15,298 --> 00:09:16,858
I am telling you it's the truth.

205
00:09:16,858 --> 00:09:19,688
And once you grasp that concept,
Your life is forever changed.

206
00:09:19,898 --> 00:09:22,178
It doesn't mean that life doesn't
get hard or it's complicated.

207
00:09:22,178 --> 00:09:24,968
I still myself struggle because you
still have to check in with yourself

208
00:09:24,968 --> 00:09:28,328
and remind yourself to flip that,
to get out of that mindset, right?

209
00:09:28,333 --> 00:09:31,388
Like I have to use my thoughts, like
stop myself when I start sliding

210
00:09:31,388 --> 00:09:33,008
backwards into those negative feelings.

211
00:09:33,828 --> 00:09:35,503
and like, let myself feel feelings, right?

212
00:09:35,503 --> 00:09:38,623
Like I'm not ignoring or stuffing
feelings , but not letting my

213
00:09:38,623 --> 00:09:39,823
feelings control me, right?

214
00:09:39,823 --> 00:09:43,058
Like, not becoming those feelings,
not becoming the guilt or the

215
00:09:43,138 --> 00:09:44,698
disappointment in myself, right?

216
00:09:44,698 --> 00:09:45,078
Like I am

217
00:09:45,139 --> 00:09:48,419
acknowledging that, I disappointed
myself by making some poor decisions,

218
00:09:48,719 --> 00:09:51,449
but I'm gonna accept it and I'm gonna
forgive myself and I'm gonna move on.

219
00:09:51,479 --> 00:09:51,899
Right?

220
00:09:52,109 --> 00:09:53,759
Like that's how we get unstuck.

221
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,599
That's how we keep moving forward, is just
forgiving ourselves and moving on, right?

222
00:09:57,604 --> 00:09:58,949
Like I said in that one episode.

223
00:09:59,099 --> 00:10:01,559
And now back to like this
vibrational thing, right?

224
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,329
This activation, this April activation.

225
00:10:03,379 --> 00:10:07,279
Me and my friend Stef Layton, um,
who I mentioned, in another episode

226
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:10,139
too, with the affirmations she
created that she's a yoga teacher.

227
00:10:10,139 --> 00:10:14,309
You can find her on Instagram
@StefLaytonYoga but we're doing this

228
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:18,659
activation challenge and it was really
about, helping you guys have some

229
00:10:18,659 --> 00:10:23,969
kind of challenge to get you motivated
And motivation, um, sometimes can

230
00:10:23,969 --> 00:10:26,639
be easy in the beginning when we're
motivated to make a change, but we

231
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:27,929
can lose motivation very easily.

232
00:10:27,929 --> 00:10:32,269
The only way to keep your motivation
up is action and actually,

233
00:10:32,334 --> 00:10:35,904
action is what actually pushes
you to have motivation, right?

234
00:10:35,904 --> 00:10:38,814
Like we tend to think that we get
motivated, then we take action.

235
00:10:39,084 --> 00:10:41,934
But the truth is like we actually
need to take action, and that's what

236
00:10:41,934 --> 00:10:43,549
motivates us to keep taking action.

237
00:10:43,869 --> 00:10:47,124
And so part of this challenge
is to move your body.

238
00:10:47,334 --> 00:10:52,084
One of the quickest ways to, get out
of a funk or to raise your vibration

239
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:53,944
is actually to move your body.

240
00:10:54,274 --> 00:10:59,149
And, you know, doing that um,
outside is something that's super,

241
00:10:59,209 --> 00:11:02,899
. Super helpful, like just being
outside , in nature, in the energy

242
00:11:02,899 --> 00:11:05,759
of, just the trees and the sun.

243
00:11:05,814 --> 00:11:09,054
Getting outside and doing any kind
of movement that's fun for you.

244
00:11:09,054 --> 00:11:12,384
Like moving your body should
not be a punishment, right?

245
00:11:12,534 --> 00:11:14,994
And so many times we get sucked into
these challenges, like wanting to

246
00:11:14,994 --> 00:11:17,784
make these changes physically with
our body or just to feel better.

247
00:11:17,994 --> 00:11:22,314
We jump into these challenges where,
um, we're like disciplining ourselves.

248
00:11:22,314 --> 00:11:25,554
We're forcing ourselves to go run
five miles or to go, you know,

249
00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:26,664
start these strenuous things.

250
00:11:26,664 --> 00:11:29,304
And it's like, we don't
want you to do that, right?

251
00:11:29,304 --> 00:11:32,479
Because then it's like you're forcing
yourself and it doesn't feel good, right?

252
00:11:32,479 --> 00:11:35,869
Like we want you to find some way to
move your body that's fun that you enjoy.

253
00:11:35,869 --> 00:11:40,639
So things like dancing, just moving
your body and moving energy is such

254
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:42,529
a great way to raise your vibration.

255
00:11:42,529 --> 00:11:45,679
And not only when you're doing some
kind of movement for yourself, like

256
00:11:45,684 --> 00:11:48,739
just taking a walk for yourself,
whether it's just like a quick walk

257
00:11:48,739 --> 00:11:50,269
around the block walking your dog.

258
00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:53,669
Walking with your kids, um, going
outside and playing a basketball

259
00:11:53,669 --> 00:11:56,429
game with your kids, going to the
park and actually physically playing

260
00:11:56,429 --> 00:11:57,479
with your kids outside, right?

261
00:11:57,479 --> 00:11:58,529
Like playing Frisbee.

262
00:11:58,829 --> 00:12:01,409
You know, any of these little things
that you're actively doing something

263
00:12:01,459 --> 00:12:05,389
it raises your vibration in that
you're in a better mood, right?

264
00:12:05,394 --> 00:12:08,959
So like, being in a better mood, you're
having fun, it's bringing you joy, and

265
00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:10,609
that's naturally raising your vibration.

266
00:12:10,609 --> 00:12:13,284
And when you raise your vibration, when
you have these elevated frequencies

267
00:12:13,284 --> 00:12:16,704
within you, that's when you start
attracting these higher frequency, higher

268
00:12:16,704 --> 00:12:19,284
vibrational situations to yourself, right?

269
00:12:19,289 --> 00:12:21,414
It's how you have a better
attitude about things.

270
00:12:21,714 --> 00:12:24,704
So another part of this, April
activation Challenge or the reasoning

271
00:12:24,724 --> 00:12:30,624
behind it is, this concept that you
cannot be your best self if you're

272
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:31,824
not taking care of yourself, right?

273
00:12:31,824 --> 00:12:34,194
If you're not doing things
for yourself, um, you can't

274
00:12:34,194 --> 00:12:35,274
pour from an empty cup, right?

275
00:12:35,274 --> 00:12:38,424
When we get drained, when we get burned
out, because we're overextending and

276
00:12:38,424 --> 00:12:41,754
overdoing all these things for everybody
else and neglecting ourselves, that's when

277
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:43,604
we are not showing up as our best selves.

278
00:12:43,754 --> 00:12:47,144
That's when the people we love get
to see, um, the worst parts of us.

279
00:12:47,144 --> 00:12:49,264
And it's like we don't wanna show
that to the people we love, right?

280
00:12:49,264 --> 00:12:51,844
Like, I hate when I get
snappy and irritable with my

281
00:12:51,844 --> 00:12:52,924
kids and my husband, right?

282
00:12:52,924 --> 00:12:54,874
Like, I hate when they
see that side of me.

283
00:12:54,904 --> 00:12:56,099
I don't wanna be like that.

284
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,609
I need to make time and make
sure I'm taking care of myself.

285
00:12:59,614 --> 00:13:03,089
And what a great way to just
take five minutes and go

286
00:13:03,089 --> 00:13:06,059
put whatever music I wanna listen to
and dance in my bathroom by myself.

287
00:13:06,059 --> 00:13:08,069
Like that is a quick
way to shift my energy.

288
00:13:08,069 --> 00:13:11,099
Like If I'm in a bad mood to go
put on some music and it'll change

289
00:13:11,104 --> 00:13:12,929
my whole outlook, my whole vibe.

290
00:13:12,934 --> 00:13:15,629
And so that's the kind of thing
we're talking about is any kind of

291
00:13:15,869 --> 00:13:17,819
movement to move that negative energy

292
00:13:18,319 --> 00:13:19,914
through you and out of you, right?

293
00:13:20,004 --> 00:13:24,324
So whether it is dancing, um,
maybe it's meeting a friend for

294
00:13:24,329 --> 00:13:26,154
a walk around the block, right?

295
00:13:26,334 --> 00:13:29,094
So a walk and talk, like that's
a great way to be outside.

296
00:13:29,094 --> 00:13:30,834
You're moving your body,
you're doing something for you.

297
00:13:30,834 --> 00:13:33,324
And when you do something for
you, even this small little thing,

298
00:13:33,534 --> 00:13:36,444
small little movement, small little
something for yourself is going

299
00:13:36,444 --> 00:13:38,844
to help you raise your vibration.

300
00:13:38,844 --> 00:13:40,194
It's gonna help you boost your mood.

301
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:44,374
It's gonna, change your attitude to
be on a more positive wavelength.

302
00:13:44,508 --> 00:13:49,248
So we're really just challenging everyone
who wants to take a part of this to just

303
00:13:49,248 --> 00:13:51,528
move your body in some small way each day.

304
00:13:51,528 --> 00:13:53,058
It can be anything, right?

305
00:13:53,058 --> 00:13:56,448
Like maybe you watch a
yoga video on YouTube.

306
00:13:56,448 --> 00:13:59,508
I'll, I'll link some of my
favorite yoga videos here in

307
00:13:59,508 --> 00:14:00,828
the description of this podcast.

308
00:14:00,828 --> 00:14:03,318
Like just stretching your
body, moving your body, showing

309
00:14:03,348 --> 00:14:04,878
your body some love dancing.

310
00:14:05,273 --> 00:14:05,933
. I love dancing.

311
00:14:05,933 --> 00:14:06,653
I love music.

312
00:14:06,653 --> 00:14:10,043
So whether that's just like at
the red light or even, you know,

313
00:14:10,043 --> 00:14:12,383
while you're driving, I don't know,
like as long as it's safe, right?

314
00:14:12,383 --> 00:14:17,093
But music in your car, like windows
down, like blasting the music,

315
00:14:17,093 --> 00:14:19,943
listening to it like moving in
your car, like that counts, right?

316
00:14:20,273 --> 00:14:23,663
playing Frisbee, rolling down the hill
on the hillside of a playground with

317
00:14:23,663 --> 00:14:25,343
your kids or by yourself, I don't know.

318
00:14:25,493 --> 00:14:28,463
Even as adult, even if you're not with
your kids, if you stop at a park that you

319
00:14:28,463 --> 00:14:29,993
see maybe and just go swing for a minute.

320
00:14:29,993 --> 00:14:34,343
Like go back to that childlike joy
and fun and just, you know, run, skip.

321
00:14:34,348 --> 00:14:38,158
Do anything that's fun for you
and that's moving your body.

322
00:14:38,158 --> 00:14:42,348
That's something for you that will bring
you joy, that will just help you, again

323
00:14:42,508 --> 00:14:44,478
boost your mood and raise your vibration.

324
00:14:44,478 --> 00:14:46,848
That's literally what this
challenge is all about

325
00:14:46,848 --> 00:14:50,868
and what I would love to help
motivate you do for yourself this

326
00:14:50,868 --> 00:14:53,718
month, like just one small movement
each day in the month of April.

327
00:14:54,108 --> 00:14:58,398
And for this challenge, me and Stef
also want to reward you for doing this.

328
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:02,118
And so we are asking that if you are
gonna participate in this challenge

329
00:15:02,118 --> 00:15:08,058
to take some kind of, um, photo,
make a reel, post, a story, make a

330
00:15:08,058 --> 00:15:10,608
post on Instagram or Facebook and tag

331
00:15:10,818 --> 00:15:13,968
both me and Stef I'll put our
handles in the podcast description.

332
00:15:14,178 --> 00:15:19,938
Mine's @chelsea.vanbuskirk hers is
@StefLaytonYoga so tag both of us

333
00:15:20,268 --> 00:15:25,758
in whatever post you do and use the
hashtag #AprilActivation so doing

334
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:30,318
those three things with your post gets
you one entry into our prize drawing

335
00:15:30,318 --> 00:15:31,698
that we'll do at the end of the month.

336
00:15:31,918 --> 00:15:36,118
So from April 1st to April 30th,
anytime you tag both of us and use

337
00:15:36,118 --> 00:15:38,248
that hashtag that counts as one entry.

338
00:15:38,513 --> 00:15:41,753
So at the end of April, I'm gonna,
you know, look at all the hashtags

339
00:15:41,753 --> 00:15:45,353
with our tags, and each time that
you do it, you're going into the

340
00:15:45,353 --> 00:15:49,058
drawing pile, and then we'll do one
of those random drawing things online

341
00:15:49,058 --> 00:15:52,028
that will randomly choose a winner,
and we'll announce that on May 5th.

342
00:15:52,428 --> 00:15:56,848
And we'll probably be doing that live
on Instagram, when we do the drawing.

343
00:15:56,848 --> 00:15:58,108
So just be on the lookout for that.

344
00:15:58,108 --> 00:16:00,878
I'll link stuff, in
the podcast description.

345
00:16:00,908 --> 00:16:04,713
For the giveaway we're doing this, spa
gift basket, like a self-care gift basket.

346
00:16:04,903 --> 00:16:07,773
We are shipping to USA
shipping addresses only.

347
00:16:07,993 --> 00:16:11,443
But just taking part of the challenge
is something you can do for yourself,

348
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:17,553
it's just gonna help you elevate your
vibrations, your frequency, and activate

349
00:16:17,558 --> 00:16:21,023
those higher frequencies within you and a
great way to really, you know, shift your

350
00:16:21,028 --> 00:16:24,113
perspective and get to those, um, better.

351
00:16:24,643 --> 00:16:26,323
Feeling feelings, right?

352
00:16:26,323 --> 00:16:28,153
Like feeling in a good mood.

353
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:32,023
And when you're in that space, when
you're in that high vibe state of

354
00:16:32,023 --> 00:16:35,743
mind, like you can better handle the
stresses that come your way, right?

355
00:16:35,743 --> 00:16:38,413
You can better handle
the ways you get mad.

356
00:16:38,413 --> 00:16:41,493
And, . It's interesting
because I have a really.

357
00:16:42,498 --> 00:16:43,758
bad temper.

358
00:16:43,758 --> 00:16:44,358
I really do.

359
00:16:44,358 --> 00:16:47,208
I, I get really wound
up tight a lot of times.

360
00:16:47,268 --> 00:16:53,028
Um, and that's hard when you have three
kids and different schedules and different

361
00:16:53,058 --> 00:16:55,098
age ages that I'm dealing with as a mom.

362
00:16:55,098 --> 00:16:58,158
Like, I get stressed and
like worked up really easily.

363
00:16:58,158 --> 00:17:03,618
And so the fastest way that I can get
out of that kind of like anger irritable

364
00:17:03,828 --> 00:17:05,958
moment is by taking a moment for myself.

365
00:17:06,753 --> 00:17:10,053
Music walk, taking a quick walk,
even if it's just outside of my

366
00:17:10,053 --> 00:17:13,563
backyard, like just walking, um,
for five minutes out in my backyard.

367
00:17:13,563 --> 00:17:15,903
Like anything that simple, like that's
what we're talking about is just

368
00:17:15,908 --> 00:17:20,643
any kind of simple movement for you
to help you boost your mood and to

369
00:17:20,643 --> 00:17:22,263
activate those higher frequencies.

370
00:17:22,268 --> 00:17:23,283
That's what it's all about.

371
00:17:23,403 --> 00:17:27,723
And um, you know, like I
said, everything is energy.

372
00:17:27,903 --> 00:17:32,163
And when I talk about manifesting and you.

373
00:17:32,879 --> 00:17:36,409
creating your life and, being a
creator of your life and what you

374
00:17:36,409 --> 00:17:40,279
want to achieve and how you want
your life to be like, you have got

375
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:41,479
to be in a high vibrational state.

376
00:17:41,479 --> 00:17:48,774
You cannot manifest in this, depressed
or, um, fear or guilt or shame.

377
00:17:48,774 --> 00:17:51,714
Like in any of those lower vibrational
states of mind, that is not the

378
00:17:51,714 --> 00:17:53,754
time to be manifesting or creating.

379
00:17:54,114 --> 00:17:56,064
Every thought we have is.

380
00:17:56,504 --> 00:18:00,254
Like an activation of energy, like
whether we want it or not, right?

381
00:18:00,254 --> 00:18:04,694
Like when we're thinking like that is a
signal out, like it's like an antenna.

382
00:18:04,694 --> 00:18:07,154
Like our thoughts are
essentially a radio antenna.

383
00:18:07,154 --> 00:18:08,894
Like, so what thoughts are you thinking?

384
00:18:09,104 --> 00:18:10,574
What are you receiving?

385
00:18:10,574 --> 00:18:12,674
What are you attracting back to
you with these thoughts, right?

386
00:18:12,674 --> 00:18:16,784
Like you wanna work on your
thoughts and work on your mindset.

387
00:18:16,784 --> 00:18:20,114
And that's why I talk about, you know,
affirmations and, doing gratitude

388
00:18:20,114 --> 00:18:23,574
journals, like things like that, are
so helpful at helping you getting a

389
00:18:23,574 --> 00:18:26,754
better grasp on your life and your
mindset and your thoughts, and really

390
00:18:27,054 --> 00:18:29,094
changing your life in a positive way.

391
00:18:29,124 --> 00:18:29,514
Right?

392
00:18:29,814 --> 00:18:33,444
We can see life as something that happens
to us, or we can be like responsible

393
00:18:33,444 --> 00:18:39,214
and responsibly, respond to life and
be the creators of our life, right?

394
00:18:39,214 --> 00:18:42,324
And be proactive and, have the
life that we want and have,

395
00:18:42,624 --> 00:18:44,274
um, a happy and joyful life.

396
00:18:44,274 --> 00:18:46,254
And it really is dependent on us, right?

397
00:18:46,254 --> 00:18:48,894
Like we can't count on
anybody else to make us happy.

398
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:51,264
We can't count on anybody
else to give us a good life.

399
00:18:51,264 --> 00:18:52,674
Like we have to make a
good life for ourself.

400
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:56,334
And a lot of that comes from our attitude,
our mindset, and what energy we're

401
00:18:56,334 --> 00:18:59,914
giving off, how we're dealing with,
negative emotions and things like that.

402
00:18:59,914 --> 00:19:02,534
So, , I'm gonna wrap up
today's episode with that.

403
00:19:02,784 --> 00:19:05,554
I'll put, the April activation
challenge information in the

404
00:19:05,554 --> 00:19:07,684
description of this podcast.

405
00:19:07,934 --> 00:19:10,604
And some other fun things for
you, if you haven't already.

406
00:19:10,604 --> 00:19:15,314
I have a newsletter that's now going out
and I also have a Facebook community.

407
00:19:15,444 --> 00:19:19,464
I am rebranding that as the heart AF
community, and so that is something where

408
00:19:19,464 --> 00:19:24,414
we're give, you know, a sacred, safe space
for discussions after these podcasts.

409
00:19:24,414 --> 00:19:26,814
Like if you have something you wanna
talk about that was talked about on

410
00:19:26,814 --> 00:19:30,174
one of these shows, or just wanna
have more intimate conversations,

411
00:19:30,354 --> 00:19:33,414
that's where I will be and that's
where you can, um, come and meet

412
00:19:33,414 --> 00:19:37,194
other people that are, um, listeners
of the show and just have a safe.

413
00:19:37,204 --> 00:19:40,264
Space to, um, have community
really is what it's all about,

414
00:19:40,264 --> 00:19:41,404
is developing a community.

415
00:19:41,404 --> 00:19:46,234
And, um, I'll be putting together some
more resources for that group as well.

416
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:50,324
I'm working on putting together
a, gratitude and affirmation,

417
00:19:50,574 --> 00:19:51,894
journal for those of my group.

418
00:19:51,894 --> 00:19:55,344
So, I'll link the group in the, podcast
description for you guys too, if you're

419
00:19:55,344 --> 00:19:56,664
interested in joining that community.

420
00:19:56,664 --> 00:19:59,604
It is on Facebook, finally
sending out a newsletter.

421
00:19:59,604 --> 00:20:00,564
So that's exciting.

422
00:20:00,564 --> 00:20:05,444
So if you would like to get on my,
email list where I will be posting

423
00:20:05,449 --> 00:20:09,079
news and events as far as sound
healing events, if you're local.

424
00:20:09,229 --> 00:20:12,529
Um, I am still working on doing
a virtual sound healing event.

425
00:20:12,739 --> 00:20:16,864
Um, but anything like that is definitely
gonna be on my monthly newsletter.

426
00:20:16,864 --> 00:20:20,824
So the sign up for that will be in
the podcast description as well.

427
00:20:21,154 --> 00:20:23,284
And I'll see you guys next week.

428
00:20:23,374 --> 00:20:25,804
Have a great first week of April.

429
00:20:25,804 --> 00:20:28,744
Hope you guys don't get
fooled, , but if you do, it's okay.

430
00:20:28,749 --> 00:20:29,969
Just have fun and laugh, right?

431
00:20:30,157 --> 00:20:33,242
, Life can be hard and it can be
painful, but it's also beautiful and

432
00:20:33,242 --> 00:20:38,922
if you can have, that humor, and
really use laughter is, is really

433
00:20:38,922 --> 00:20:40,812
honestly a great form of medicine.

434
00:20:40,842 --> 00:20:42,582
Um, especially for healing and for pain.

435
00:20:42,582 --> 00:20:44,142
Like laughter can do so much.

436
00:20:44,542 --> 00:20:45,562
So have fun.

437
00:20:45,792 --> 00:20:49,332
Choose joy and find the fun
and humor in life if you can.

438
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:51,362
Don't take yourself too seriously.

439
00:20:51,782 --> 00:20:53,342
All right, I'll see you guys next week.

440
00:20:53,762 --> 00:20:54,182
Peace.
